In all fairness to Stroll, it sounds like he actually did pretty decent and his teammates racked up a shite ton of penalties. But yes, they finished 48th without DNFing

Verstappens team finished 9th without him in the car.
Valentino Rossi’s team finished 12th
Leclerc’s younger brothers team finished 19th
Strolls team finished 48th, 12 minutes behind the winner
They were all in the Pro category and an Aston Martin won the whole thing.
His team amassed 465 SECONDS in penalties for blue flag and track limit violations.

Saw some quick quotes from Nikolas Tombazis who basically wrote the regs for this season and in them, he admitted that they knew closing speeds would be an issue...
Talk about opening up your self for a nice lawsuit from the drivers.

Going to sue him for making F1 dangerous?

Admitting you knew that there were inherit safety issues with new regulations you put out and didn't mitigate them, especially after the teams and drivers said that there would be issues and then theres a wreck due to it... Luckily Ollie wasn't hurt too bad, but if he would have gotten killed, yeah, you've opened yourself up to liability. I'd even bet if Ollie sued, there'd be a nice settlement.

You think Verstappen should have sued Hamilton for his dangerous move in Copse that nearly killed Verstappen?
Ollie knew the performance risk of these cars and still drove. He is still going to continue to drive.
Colapinto probably should have been penalized too but the FIA was covering their arse with the regs by not mentioning it.

No... Apples and oranges.. Bur if Hamilton came out and said "yeah, I did it on purpose, I knew that it could kill him/hurt him" and he was sued, he'd be liable and pay out.
When the governing body or a corporation admits to knowing about risks with something they are implementing and does nothing to mitigate/warn those participating, even after the participants say its dangerous, you are opening yourself up to liability.
Had he said nothing, then plausible deniability, but to admit "we knew there were safety issues, but we did it anyway" is fricking stupid.
Just happened with that social media case in California. The fact that they had emails with FB/Youtube admitting to knowing what they were doing led to them being held liable.

There were thousands of hours of simulation.
Not only that, the teams can mitigate the situation from ever happening. It just comes at the trade off of speed. Like every single dangerous things in the sport.

I'm wondering what they can possibly do to mitigate some of the issues in time for Miami, or even later this season. Too many things can't be changed quickly/easily (and I think also must be 100% agreed between teams).
Even for those of us who have been trying to learn about the new systems, we're constantly learning new things, like how they were saying that the computer automatically deploys energy, sometimes unexpectedlly(?), and that's why Colapinto ran out of energy at the same time Bearman's computer decided to deploy energy.
I'd like to see the automatic deployment go away, that's what seems to lead to the dangerous situations.
And of course they will continue to adjust how much energy can be harvested based on the track.

The big moves will likely be how much energy can be harvested and max output of the battery.
Maybe they can all agree on more engine output but I doubt that. Gas tanks and reliability are factored months/years in advance. Battery seems to be the most adjustable factor on these cars.

This whole sentence encapsulates the retardation of current F1 (and the hybrid era).
Just put a fricking ICE in the goddamned car and let them race rather than have to break out a slide rule or have hundreds of pounds of batteries and computers on the damned cars.

They have metered fuel flow to the engine the exact same way for over a decade. Just doesn't get noticed as much. Hence all the fuel saving and lift and coast the cars do for 40% of the race. Quali times 5 seconds faster than the fastest lap reflects this.
Peak fuel flow vs total fuel flow have to be targeted.

Well, that’s a start I guess.

How, really does nothing but show how manipulated all the batter bullshite is?
Does nothing to deal with competitiveness, forced overtakes, clipping, etc...

Yeah, I was being a little sarcastic.
Not much of a change at all.

I don't think that ruling was intended to do with improving the racing. Just closing what was becoming a dangerous practice.

How? Was only during quali and at the end of a hot lap when they would be out of the way to anyone else.
